----------------------------------------
> Yes. I agree that breaking by job-ids make things a lot simpler.
Great! Does anyone else have concerns with that approach?
> admins will have to create per-user directories in history folder where JobTracker can
write to
Another possibility might be that jobs can specify a group permitted to read its logs. The
jobtracker would chgrp the logs to that group. The jobtracker's uid would need to be a member
of that group. The difference is that, rather than having to configure each filesystem for
each user, one can just configure the user/groups database. Another difference is that this
would permit logs to be readable by more than the single user who submitted the job. But
this is all stuff for later...

> Today all the jobhistory files are dumped in one _job-history_ folder. This can cause
problems when there is a need to search the history folder (job-recovery etc). It would be
nice if we group all the jobs under a _user_ folder. So all the jobs for user _amar_ will
go in _history-folder/amar/_. Jobs can be categorized using various features like _jobid,
date, jobname_ etc but using _username_ will make the search much more efficient and also
will not result into namespace explosion.
